An evolution expert says a family who walk on all fours appears to defy everything we thought we knew about humans.
Some members of the Ulas family, from Turkey, have a unique quadrupedal gait that had never been seen elsewhere.
The family were first documented in a scientific paper, and then a BBC documentary titled The Family That Walks on All Fours which was released in 2006.
Professor Nicholas Humphrey, an evolutionary psychologist from the London School of Economics, found six of the family's 18 children were born with the remarkable trait, but one of them has since died.
Speaking on a 60 Minutes Australia documentary, he said: "I never expected that even under the most extraordinary scientific fantasy that modern human beings could return to an animal state.
"The thing which marks us off from the rest of the animal world is the fact that we're the species which walks on two legs and olds out heads high in the air... of course it's language and all other sorts of things too, but it's terribly important to our sense of ourselves as being different from others in the animal kingdom. These people cross that boundary."
The documentary described the family as potentially "the missing link between man and ape", saying they have "untold significance for every one of us" and "shouldn't exist".
The Turkish scientists who published the first paper postulated that some form of "devolution" could have taken place. He wondered whether this could be a genetic problem that had somehow rewound three millions years of evolution.
However, Prof Humphreys told the BBC documentary that this description was "deeply insulting" and "scientifically irresponsible".

An unlikely club reportedly rejected the chance to sign Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek.
Guy Lodge Film Critic Unorthodox family structures yield correspondingly unpredictable drama in “Housekeeping for Beginners,” a vital, febrile multi-character study that further confirms writer-director Goran Stolevski as a talent to be reckoned with. Departing radically from the poise of his folk-horror debut “You Won’t Be Alone” and the gentle intimacy of its swift follow-up “Of an Age,” this study of domestic, romantic and generational conflicts in a crowded queer household instead embraces a spirit of antic chaos, both in subject matter and jagged, hit-the-ground-running execution.

Patrick Frater Asia Bureau Chief Abacus Media Rights has pre-sold the feature documentary “The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee,” to Sky Arts, SBS Television Australia; to NonStop Entertainment for Scandinavia, Iceland and the Baltics and to Movistar for Spain. Lee is known as the Dracula character and for transitioning from 1960s Hammer horror films to a distinguished acting career that encompassed James Bond films, the “Star Wars” and “Lord of the Rings” franchises. Less well-known are his aristocratic Italian roots, a close family connection to James Bond novelist Ian Fleming, Lee’s wartime experiences in the British and Finnish military, post-war Nazi-hunting adventures and a side career as a heavy metal rock singer. As an actor, Lee achieved a Guinness world record for the highest number of screen appearances. Produced in association with the British Film Institute and Trigger Films by Canal Cat Films, “Life and Deaths” is an innovative documentary which uses fresh interviews, archive material and multiple forms of traditional and cutting-edge animation, including marionation, to bring one of the world’s leading actors back to life on screen.
As if to come to the aid of her national cinema after the debacle that was Roman Polanski’s The Palace, Poland’s Agnieska Holland, soon to turn 75, restores some of her homeland’s cultural dignity with a devastating exposé that angrily, and quite brilliantly, questions its humanity and political integrity. At 144 minutes, and in black and white, it is not exactly a Trojan horse, and its moral rigor does not come with a spoonful of sugar. But Green Border earns every second of that running time, and with a focus and energy that belies its directors age. Awards-wise, this may prove to be the international feature to beat.
